IP Address Assignments
Because ISPs have more customers or users than they have IP addresses, they commonly put their assigned block of IP addresses into a pool. When a customer or user connects with the ISP, an IP address is assigned to the user\'s computer for the duration of the user’s session. The ISP generally keeps logs showing who used a particular IP address at a particular time and date. These records are the means used by investigators to trace back to suspects.
